A great place to hang out at with friends. The brick oven pizza's are all fantastic. I love the mediterranean pizza with a pint of their ghettoblaster. Don't forget to take home a growler of your favorite brew!

Stopped by with friends on a sunny Sunday afternoon. A very laid back place, comfortable. The beer and pizza were both really quite good and the service was very friendly. The pizza is thin crust with "creative" toppings - you'll be disappointed if you want a traditional thick Detroit-syle pizza. On the other hand, if you want to try something... More

My wife and I went to Motor City Works brewery and enjoyed ourselves. It’s a quaint little place that servers great brick oven pizzas. They don't have a full menu but the pizzas are great. You can build your own too. You have to be careful about parking because they only have a few designated brewery spots and the others... More

We went here before a concert. The pizza was good, and I had a root bear, which I thought was overly sweet. Everybody else said the beer was fine. Points off for a hair in one of the pizzas and less than stellar service. Also, the parking is ridiculous and they have to tell every single person about it upon... More

my family and I drove to Detroit on a Friday. we knew about the parking situation so we parked in a spot. the waitress told us "you have to park on this side." we moved our car and she didn't say anything about it. when we were eating our salad, we looked out and a tow truck was there hooking...

Nice place to grab a hand-tossed pizza and a couple of fresh brews with a good friend. Limited menu but perfect for a lunch date in the spring, summer.

Great little micro brewery with excellent beer and amazing brick oven pizzas! We liked it so much that we returned the very next evening. The menu is not extensive, but they serve wonderful cheese plates, dips and of course, a variety of pizzas. Be forewarned that the place is not overly large and parking in the lot is limited, but...

The spin dip is a little on the spicy side. (But I'm not complaining.). The pizzas are interesting and tasty. Love the BBQ chicken pizza. The sodas are also tasty. I've tried the orange and the grape and the black cherry. I'm working my way through the menu.

What a pleasant surprise . . . we visited the Motor City Brewing Works while visiting Detroit for the Lions game and to our surprise we had the best service and the absolute best fresh baked pizza I can remember. The food and beers were reasonably priced and our waiter was very accomodating and with being a local he filled... More

My favorite thing about the pizza, any one here, is that when you imagine what it tasted like last time you ate it...you anticipate that taste...it ALWAYS tastes the same. The quality of the pizza here is consistently good. There aren't too many places where you can rely on this type of experience. Also, the hard cider is amazing :D
